RIVERS AND HARBORS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Representa-
tive Hermann, OF Oregou,says that in
view of the speakers decision at the
opening OF the last session OF con-
gress. declining to give Oregon a
place on the committee on rivers and
harbors, because senator Dolph was
a member OF the committee in the
senate which had charge of the river
and harbor bill, he would not come
in rivalry with any member of the
California delegation for a place on
that committee, but would claim to
to the speaker that the Pacific colst
is entitled to two members, because
OF the great tretch Of sea coast and
many important rivers and harbors
along its line. He thinks that the
Pacific northwest should be represent.
ed on the committee, in addition to
California, and make his contest for g
position on the committee on this
ground. He proposes to see the
speaker at once and present the
claim OF Oregon in that way.
ALI the members OF the delegation
except BIggs are after @ place on the
committee Oh rivers and harbors
Mr.. FELTON, presented his claim to
speaker Carlisle yesterday. Mr.
Thompson and Mr.. Vandever will
urge their wishes before congress con.
venes. Mr.. Biggs desires to be placed
on the committee on agriculture. and
in all probability his wishes will be
granted.
In the senate, Stanford would like
to be on the committee on commerce
but Jones of Nevada. and Dolph oi
Oregon, are on that committee and
neither OF them desires to give up his
place. Stanford will be chail man oi
the committee on public buildings
and grounds, which will have the
San Francisco postoffice site bill in
charge.

"NEvER in the history Of overland
travel" writes western correspond
ent OF the New York Tribune, ''has
there been such blockade of freight
on all lines as at present The Gen.
tral Pacific is two weeks behind in
freight shipments. The Southern Pa
ciic has fully one months freight
side-tracked at various points, owing
to disastrous washouts in Arizona and
New Mexico, but the Atchison road is
in the worst dilemma. The extraor-
dinary rush OF people to southern
California has completely paralyzed
this line. They are using every loco
motive to transport passengers, and
freight is thus tied up all along the
line. The Atchison company is feed
ing hundreds of passengers at Kansas
City until they can get seats on a west
bound train. As a rule it requires
three days at Kansas City before ac-
commodations can be secured by those
who have tickets there"

Seooped the Esteemed Contemporaries.

Guy Magee, city editor OF the Times,
is one of the landmarks of the Chicago
press. A long time ago, before there
were any telephones or patrol wagons or
boxes, when reporters had to hoof it be
tween stations for the police news of the
night. Magee was q night reporter for
one of the morning papers. Scoops
counted in those days, and when a night
man couldn't turn in one or two to his
credit in as many weeks he was trans
ferred. One morning, after the last
batch of night items had been sent In,
Magee was homeward bound when he
discovered the dead body of man in the
street. He knew it was too late to get
the item in the paper, and he knew il he
informed the police of his discovery that
the afternoon paper would have the lead
on the item. In those days Chicago
abounded In plank sidewalks of the most
miserable kind. Magee tore up one or
two of the planks in the walk near by,
and planted his dead man under them.
Late in the day, when he came down to
his work, he notified the coroner and the
afternoon papers were beaten.

SAT the coming convention Of the
national butter, egg and cheese asso-
citation the members will endeavor to
provide some measures by which eggs
shall be sold everywhere by the pound
instead OF by the dozen. 1t seem s
strange that this was not done long
ago, for it is so just and fair all around
that it commends itself to everybody.
While to some it may appear a very
small thing, it is really very impor.
tant and involves a great deal oi
money" Yes, that's so, and yet it is
safe to prophecy that when the ques-
ton of weight or count of eggs
will be discussed at the coming
convention, the reasons for count
will be found to overbalance the
reasons for weight, and it is more
than likely no conclusion will be ar
rived at. So long as human nature is
as it is, the consumer demanding
down weight every time, no retailer
void stand any show whatever. A
customer comes in, asks for a pound
OF eggs; the seller puts eight eggs in
the scales and they weigh 141I or Is
ounces. Nobody wants to take fifteen
ounces for a pound, so demands an
other egg, which will make them 161S
or IL ounces and so it goes.
